GREAT GAS STRIKE AT ANDERSON.
A Well That Promises Greater Volume of
Gas Than Any Yet Sunk in Indiana.

Special to the Indianapolis journal
ANDERSON. May 7.-Greater excitement was
never known in Anderson than exists here this
evening. When, few weeks ago. gas was
struck in we'll No. 1, and it was found that at a
depth of eghty-seven feet in the Trenton rock
greater flow of gas was secured than in any
other well in the State, our people were carried
away with enthusiasm. But this morning.
when it was learned that Trenton rock had been
reached last nigh. in we'll No. 2,
being drilled by N. C. Mccullough,
every in the city vas eager
and anxious to know what the result would be
when drilling should be resumed by daylight
When Trenton rock was reached last night and
gas began to flow work was Immediately sus-
pended and all fires extinguished. This morn
ing, soon steam was up, drilling was again
resumed. All day long, until o'clock in the
afternoon. Mr.. Cole, the contractor, and his eff
fcient corps of workmen. pushed down the
we'll. The flow of gas constantly increased
until the drill had penetrated Trenton rock
about twenty feet, and the pressure from the
we well was such that ~. it seemed sr.s, impossi-
with sufficient force to penetrate further.
The ponderous drill, weighing $500 pounds,
seemed but feathers weight it was being
removed for the last time. The noise of
the escaping gas, which had almost been deafen-
ing. seemed to increase ten fold as the rope and
drill were being removed. Then commenced the
Work OF Undertaking TO comm TO some extent,
this wonderful force of nature It was evident
that the flow could not be limited to the usual
openings allowed even in tho strongest wells and
an additional hole was drilled into the cap
which was to be placed upon it, that three
two-inch- pipes could oe attached. Two of these
were easily connected while the top was open,
but when it to placing the top into

six men standing upon the irons attached
to the top to hold it in place while it could be
fastened. Two pipes are run out over White

surpassed by her near neiehbor. Mr.
Mccullough is highly pleased with his we'll. and
is anxious TO sink it deeper if such could be
done, but this seems impossible. That Ander
has a great and prosperous future before, is
now assured beyond all question. Many strang
ers in the city have been waiting to
see the outcome of this well, and

a promising prospect as has Anderson. Piping

NELLIE ANDREWS SUICIDES.
The Latest Tragedy Simply Tired
of Life.

Nellie Andrews, who for some time
past has been living at the house of
Mrs. Conley, in the Nineteenth Ward,
took a dose of morphine late on Thurs
day afternoon, with suicidal intent, and
died at about 113O the same evening.
Nellie Andrews was left alone in the
House at about 4 clock, and when the
lady of the house returned at about o.,
she discovered the victim lying on the
floor, showing strong symptoms OF
poisoning. Neighbors were called IN,
and a doctor sent for, and all these did
all in their power to save the IN
fortunate woman, but without avail.
The victim was at one time the wife OF
James Andrews, but some time ago
obtained divorce from him. She came
to this city from Eagle Rock, Idaho, IN
January last. She left note under her
pillow explaining why she had taken
her life-the act was due to the fact that
she had been estranged from her hus-
band, who, is or was, employed ipsthe
capacity OF an engineer, on the Utah
& Northern Railroad.
